Lockhart — Dave Campbell’s Texas Football recently announced the Lockhart football team has been named the Army Strong Team of the Week for Division 4A. Lockhart upset Huntsville High School, 35-28, last week for its first playoff win since 1972.
The Lions were chosen for this honor because of their teamwork, dedication, discipline, personal courage and integrity, values shared by U.S. Army Soldiers.
“The Lions ended a long playoff drought by knocking off Huntsville,” Adam Hochfelder, general manager of Dave Campbell's Texas Football, said.
The award will be presented to the team at a time to be determined later this week by a representative of the U.S. Army.
“The U.S. Army is recognizing the student-athletes at Lockhart for demonstrating qualities similar to those exhibited by a U.S. Army Soldier, who is mentally, emotionally and physically strong,” Maj. Samuel Williams said. “We expect to see some of these young men competing at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, the college level, or maybe even professionally in the future.”
The Lions are coached by Troy Moses who was a former assistant at San Marcos High School under former head coach Bruce Bush.
Lockhart (8-3), which finished second in District 17-4A, will face Beaumont-Central (7-3) in the area round of the Class 4A, Division I playoffs with a 7 p.m. game Saturday at Katy’s Rhodes Stadium.
